Giving birth
So it’s midnight and I just finished a song (hopefully) for our upcoming kids album.
My wife Beci is in bed and here I am all inspired about kids worshipping God and keeping her awake.
I think it will be a powerful song. Talking about Jesus being near, and wanting to spend the rest of our lives in His house. “I’m so glad you’re here, I’m so glad you’re near…” well I don’t want to ruin it 
But man is it a process. Getting a song written is like giving birth to a baby that sometimes refuses to come out. Or at least that is our experience.
This year has proven to be just as tough as always to find the God songs. But I guess not much worthwhile is easy. The pain of creating can lead to great beauty.
I hope and pray that is true for this years album, that the kids at our church and ultimately around the world would encounter Jesus. Because if they do, they will never forget it. And they will never forget him.
I wonder what your wife and other women would say to a man using the “it’s like giving birth” metaphor…
I know my wife would be saying, “Uh Uh, you can’t even begin to understand what giving birth is like!” 
I know that you probably here this all the time but I want to personally thank you for going thru that pain of writing songs.
This year we did our own “VBS” which we called Adventure Week. The most inspiring time for me was worship. Our church gave us the auditorium and we saw over 300 kids worship God everyday mostly thru your songs off the last Hillsong Kids album. The kids didn’t ever want to stop worshipping. It was amazing.
I am not in any way talented musically but I am in charge of programming for our kids and I just want to let you know that our kids will never be the same because of your “pain of creation” as you so eloquently stated.
Thank you Thank you Thank you for your sacrifice. Our 300 kids will never be the same.
“I’m Not Ashamed of the Gospel Lord”
Amen brotha.
I am really excited to hear the song. We rock your songs at World Outreach. Not only that but your songs are also rocked at Super Kid Academy.
